... no. doc hasn't said anything more about it. i'm taking 20 mg of doxepin 5 nights a week-- takes me a while to fall asleep. the thing is i'm not as depressed as i was so it might be working as an antidepressant which is great because all the ones i tried gave me a bad reaction. usually 2 nights a week i take seroquel which knocks me out. i can only take it if i...

... Hi there,
I would like to contribute to this thread hopefully with a cure as I suffered the following symptoms:
a) Just when I'm about to fall asleep, I am jolted awake with a pounding heart and I gasp a bit for air as if I forgot to breathe. This is not the hypnogogic jerk that we all experience from time to time where our hands or legs twitch as we fall asleep. This is... (0 replies)

... am as I type this. I spent the whole day awake. I try to avoid taking naps in the afternoon coz I know I won't be able to sleep at night. I took fast dissolve melatonin and Benadryl but the results were the same. ... (2 replies)

... Hello everyone :)
So I find myself in a rather desperate state to find some information and I'm hoping I'll find some advice here. I've been on Ambien for about 10 years, and Ambien CR for probably well over 5 of that 10. I'm on the 12.5 and find I want to go down on the dose, however, I've not found too many comfortable ways to try this so far. Or rather, my anxiety has... (0 replies)

... MSNik, kman34, thank you very much for your replies!

... I've struggled with depression off and on for 15+ years. After trying many different SNRI/SSRIs, I've settled for the combination of Bupropion + Prozac, and it seems to be working well for me so far ... but there's this one problem.
I tend to feel tired thru out the day when I'm depressed, Bupropion is helping to correct that so I can function. But now I have a hard time... (4 replies)

... eep but I think that is not the way to go. So as I am cutting down my Lorazepam .25 mg per week and if I find a period of time I can't sleep well can I introduce melatonin a little at a time while I'm cutting down my Lorezapam? ... (1 replies)

... I have chronic pain and I truly hope you do not have that and you will never ever have what I have. I have tried melatonin which never helped. I tried xanax and hated it, I did sleep with it but felt bad in the morning. Then tried most of the sleeping pills in the market. ... (3 replies)

... So I am having the same problem tonight.. only I've taken 6 mg of melation, which my friend recommends and says works great for him, he takes a 3mg pill every night. I also took 1 mg of xanax (which i have as needed for panic attacks) but when not anxious it knocks me out and nothing is happening still. I'm wide-eyed and awake. I also just chugged a beer which isn't... (2 replies)
